This morning I painted a rhino while still in my pajamas. Pajamas are actually good painting clothes as you don't worry so much about getting paint on them, especially the ones that I am wearing now as the pants are my least favorite pajama pants. So, paint may actually improve them. Unfortunately, it seems that I painted clean, so they are still my least favorite pajama pants. This rhino is fairly large (about 12x16), so I couldn't scan him or her. I wanted to work larger than usual and just sort of messily apply the paint, so that's what I did. He actually looks better in person as I had to photograph him with a flash in not the best light. I prefer scanning, even though you can never get a perfect scan either. I decided to leave the graphite elephants in the background, rather than crop them out. So, it's a double (or triple) pachyderm photo. I also used my easel for this painting rather than painting on my lap, so that's a departure.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. It's time for me to get out of my pajamas and get going. Happy Friday everyone.
